MISCELLANEOUS

Some pharmaceutical products in the developing world are not of the same quality as those under strict U.S. guidelines, but many of the standard drugs are. Generally trusted hospital systems know who the reliable manufacturers are for that country. One should not go to just any corner pharmacy without having some sense of the integrity of that institution.

Tertiary high level care may not be available in the country to which you are going, especially for children, pregnancy and neonates.
